What People Are Saying
from Google"Quite possibly the best cup of coffee I've had in my life! The barista at the counter was friendly and service was prompt. Prices were reasonable. Atmosphere was fun and laid-back, with some beachy decor, and a velociraptor statue outside by the patio. If you're ever passing by this place, do yourself a favor and check it out. You won't be disappointed."
"First time there. Loved the atmosphere, the girl who waited on me was very nice. The homemade cinnamon bun was very yasty."
"Out of all of our local coffee shops, hard bean is by far my favorite! They are also the only place that uses a real egg in their breakfast sandwiches, which is worth the wait! They also have the best redbull refreshers. Love it here"
"Great, friendly service every time! Lots of choices. Love the cold brew, my new favorite ❤️. And if I'm having a really bad day this is my must stop, cheer up spot 😁 good vibes always"
